Conor McGregor said Friday he pulled out of the UFC 303 main event against Michael Chandler due to a broken toe.
The long-awaited fight was scheduled to take place June 29 in Las Vegas. McGregor suffered the injury in training in early June and officially withdrew last week.
“We had a lapse in concentration and engaged in a training session without wearing the full protective gear, and I hit the toe off the elbow and broke the toe clean,” McGregor wrote in an Instagram post.
